It sucks that you've had those experiences and I understand why you'd be wary of larger groups of belief systems.

Yeah, I'm largely avoiding adopting any social group identities unless truly necessary. I believe that such identities, while they have their uses, contribute to the things like I mentioned above, like out-group-homogeneity-bias. They often feed generalizations and stereotyping, which in turn feed oppression and hate.

I am glad you have found some fellow feminists that are critical and think for themselves. I have some feminist friends that are so as well (they are an extreme minority of my experience with feminists though).

Your Christian analogy kind of falls flat with me.

I thought it might be so, which is why I wiped it at the last moment. I'm sorry for having you read such a long-winded ramble, when it wasn't even informative.

I understand. Honestly, I do. When I was a teenager and emotionally immature because, well, I was also not physically mature I used to froth at the mouth a bit about people not identifying as feminists. Now I understand that what someone calls themselves is inconsequential as long as they act decently. Kind of glad Tumblr didn't even exist back then :D

DA

I kind of want to apologize to you, 'cause while it's only been once or twice, I've engaged you on your anti-feminist views before, and in very knee-jerk ways. I didn't think to listen to your side of the story, and now having read it, I think I get where you're coming from. What you're exposed to is obviously going to form your opinions, and your experiences have been overwhelmingly negative.

I do hope you continue to meet critical, self-thinking feminists, and less 'toe-the-party-line' feminists. Even if you choose not to take on the label again, it'd be a good thing.
